Work continues

So far we have done a ton of demo on the house. Here's what we have already accomplished:

1. All baseboards were replaced by the oil company this week.

2. The closet in the downstairs bedroom was ripped out to make room for our desks... The room will be our office.

3. The playroom was practically gutted. Half walls were ripped out, the stupid benches the previous owners had built (apparently to culture mold and absorb smells), flooring ripped up.

4. The girls' room is almost done. Just a little more trim work, touch-ups and installing the chandelier.

5. Started ripping apart the master bedroom shower stall. Need to replace the bottom of the walls since they are rotting out. Also need to replace the floor in there.

6. Removed all the old hardware on the kitchen cabinets and cleaned them all. Started to replace all of the old hardware.

7. Cleaning. LOTS of cleaning. The place was disgusting when we moved in. It stunk too. It was a combination of the dogs, the old owners, lack of cleaning and nasty carpets. Smell is going away quickly.

8. Chimney repairs were started. They will be finished this weekend.

What needs to get done:

1. The girls' bedroom needs to be finished first.

2. The office needs to be completed.

3. Our bathroom shower needs to be repaired.

4. The playroom needs to be rebuilt.

5. Wallpaper stripped in our bedroom and the walls painted.

6. Carpets shampooed.

And much more. Stay tuned!
